Editor's Notes
- #2 Thank you for your interest in our company. My name is Taylor Reaume, founder of The Search Engine Pros.com. Our Company consists of over 25 people, all dedicated to optimizing our clients web sites. This presentation offers you an overview of the methodology and approach our company uses to generate top ranks on the major search engines. Hi Everyone, Taylor Reaume here, Founder of the Search Engine Pros.com. I am going to explain to you how you can use our techniques to boost your traffic levels and succeed online. The internet is changing constantly, and our company is in the business of helping you stay on the cutting edge. What is the biggest problem on the internet today? Is it finding a product to sell? No, there are literally thousands of companies that have drop ship models, and master resell models. The big problem on the internet today is getting traffic to your website, further that, getting qualified traffic, developing a winning SEO strategy. That’s what our company specializes in. Most people just throw up a site and wonder why nobody is coming. To be successful online, you really need to figure out what people want, and stick it right up there in front of them, I’m sure many of you have had the experience of going to a web site, and spending 5 or 10 minutes, and still not having a clue what the web site is about. Most people think, well I’m just going to put my web site up, and somehow people are going to stumble on to it, and then there going to figure out what to do and send me an email about what they want. Really it doesn’t work like that, you need to figure out what people want, and make it easy as 1.2.3. for them to make a buying decision. Conversion and trust factors are integral to a successful marketing strategy, after all you can send millions of visitors to your site, and if they don’t convert into a sale or a lead, then what good is your marketing efforts…so I will touch upon some of those aspects as well in my presentation. For the most part, I will be speaking about the basics of search engine optimization.
- #3 There are two simple goals of internet marketing. You want to drive targeted traffic to your site. There is a variety of ways we do this, but the most common are via Search Engine Optimization, Pay per click Advertising, Affiliate Programs, and Drop Ship Models.You want to convert visitors to buyers, and you do that by having effective content, by way of KISS Method, Direct Response MethodologyIt’s great if you get a bunch of visitors to your site, not so great if they don’t buy, or leave their information. Have you ever been to a website where their trying to sell you anything and everything? Trying to be the next big thing on the internet? And what happens is they end up becoming the next big failure. The people who succeed online are the ones who get crystal clear with their site offer. Often times it is much better to go ‘niche’, go into a niche that you can really excel at, rather than trying to be everything to everyone. What a lot of people do is they initially come up with an online business idea, thinking that they are going to be, the next big thing to hit the internet, and then after a year or so, the business idea morphs into 5 or 6 ideas at the same website. Have any of you had the experience of spending 5 plus minutes at a site, and still not knowing what the website is about? Or even where the contact us link is? The point that I am trying to make, is that ..If you want to be successful online, you have to first fix any conversion issues that you may be having at your site. Trust issues, Credibility Issues, etc. Now, the purpose of this presentation is to explain about our search engine optimization services, and not to go into depth about conversion issues, but I did want to bring this up at the start of my presentation to highlight the importance of it. The first conversations I have with my clients are usually centered around helping them fix the conversion issues at their site
- #4 This SEO Pyramid, offers an overview of the search engine optimization process, which consists of a number of steps.

Metrics are a collective scorecard that show us how to improve over time.All aspects of our search engine optimization practices are completely ethical, a process known as white hat SEO.

- #5 So what are keywords? Keywords are phrases which you want your website to be found under in the search engines. Keywords are typically 2-5 word phrases, you expect people will look for when they type terms into search engines.One of the common mistakes people make is trying to go after 1 word phrases that are generic, such as “realtor”, where the competition is very strong. It is more strongly advised to choose specific terms that are clearly related to your website. The key questions to consider in the keyword selection process:-What keywords do people use to find your product?-What problems do prospective customers want to solve?-What keywords are your competitors using? What are the features and benefits of your products or services?These are all questions that we will ask you, so that we can come up with the appropriate list of keywords, combining this with some proprietary technology that we have, we will deliver the optimal keyword set for you. The Search Engine Pros various proprietary keyword tools will estimate the levels of traffic that you can expect to receive from each keyword, along with the number of competitors already targeted each word.
- #6 For the purposes of this presentation we will examine the site BarbaraReaume.com. Here are some examples of some of the keywords that we have selected for BarbaraReaume.com. Note that we are not only selecting targeted keywords, but we are also finding keywords that will drive significant traffic to this web site. It is very important to find low competition, high supply keywords. These kinds of keywords are referred to as ‘low hanging fruit’ or n’niche keywords.
- #7 Next we need to optimize the web pages on your web site. There are various aspects of your web site that we wil be optimizing. We start with the page titles, this is the blue bar at the top of all your web pages. This is a very important factor that needs to be optimized properly. Each page should have a different title. We ensure that your target keyword phrases are at the beginning of your title.Most major search engines place far greater weight on your page title, than any other page content. Adding unique titles can often have a powerful impact on your web site rankings.meta tags – when people refer to Meta Tags, they are talking about the meta keywords tag and meta description tags.Some search engines support meta tags, and use them in their ranking factors, however, most search engines consider the keywords meta tag an antiquated factor in their ranking algorythms. That said, we still feel they are important. On the whole the keywords tag is becoming less and less relevant. Today factors such as link popularity, page rank, site age, and page copy are more far more important.Alt Tags.As search engine crawlers cannot read images on your pages, ALT TAGS can be inserted on your images to help the search engines further understand, what is on each one of your pages. Site mapsIt is also a good idea to have a site map, which links to all of your major pages. There are two kinds of site maps. The first is for the search engine crawler, namely an XML file, that assists the search engine spider in crawling through your web site. The 2nd type is for your website visitors, and typically is shown in the footer of all of your pages.
- #8 For the purposes of this presentation we will examine the site BarbaraReaume.com. Here are some examples of some of the keywords that we have selected for BarbaraReaume.com. Note that we are not only selecting targeted keywords, but we are also finding keywords that will drive significant traffic to this web site. It is very important to find low competition, high supply keywords. These kinds of keywords are referred to as ‘low hanging fruit’ or n’niche keywords.
- #9 Link Generation.The search engines, especially Google, place a lot of weight on the links that are pointing back to you web site. They look at the number of links pointing back to your site, and the quality of those links. Each link you have pointing to your website is similar to a “vote” for your website. The more links you have pointing to your site, the higher your site climbs in google. The days of working your way to the top of Google by buying thousands of junky links and throwing them at your site have come and gone. At the search engine pros, we have dedicated link specialists that generate relevant links for your web site. We target links that are a part of your industry and come from quality sources.
- #10 You may have heard the phrase “Content is King”. The more content you have on your website, the more chances you will have for top rankings in the search engines. Writing content for pages can be tricky. You need to stick to 2-3% keyword density to avoid “keyword stuffing” or you may get penalized. Additionally you need to use correct titles, correct header tags, and correct anchor text. *content needs to sound natural, and it cannot sound contrived. Be careful about using stock content with outbound links. The more outbound links you have, the more you split your link power. Link power, or Page Rank, is needed to obtain top ranks, and outbound links from your website will drain that page rank factor. Hence when you author your own articles, you will retain your link power.The Search Engine Pros has a team of college educated copyrighters that specialize in writing copy for the web. Each article that is written for you, must be approved by you, or you have no obligation to pay for the article.
- #11 The internet is constantly evolving. Search engine marketing is an ongoing process which is never really complete. It is important to review your rankings and statistics every month to analyze where your sales are coming from. In order to stay on top of the search engines, it is important to plan ways to constantly improve your sales and leads on the web. We analyze where your traffic is coming from, and optimize your conversions rates from data gathered through your web statistics.

- #12 GoogleAdwords, basically is where you can post calassified ads on the rights side of googles search results, and only paying when somebody clicks on the ad, and goes to their site,.
